It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 137

The matter was revealed like this, Zhou Ting didn't know whether she was jealous or disappointed, she wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask, and Yinzhen didn't know what she was angry about and how to explain it.One intentional and the other intentional, they got over this matter through Fuhui's mouth.

After calculation, it has been five or six years, ever since Yinzhen got close to Zhou Ting, such a bad thing has never happened, and Nian Shilan's appearance has muddied the water in the pool.The two of them just got along so casually these days, and when Yinzhen came, he still came, and they were still in the main courtyard for meals and rest, but getting along was always a bit awkward.

The two of them slept on the same bed at night, but they were like all the couples in the world who had a quarrel and refused to bow their heads first. They were lying next to each other, but they didn't stretch out their hands in a daze, as if there was an invisible Chuhe-Han boundary between them.

Zhou Ting felt sore for a few days. She knew that the most important thing to do now was to let go of her figure and make things right. In ancient times, women should not even be jealous, not to mention that her identity had long since given up the right to be jealous. The common people might still hold their husbands' ears and say a few roars from the Lions of the River East. If she did this, she would have to be stabbed in the back.

It turned out that Zhou Ting's life was like a pool of still water. Yinzhen's thoughtfulness and tenderness for such a long time made all the debris and sludge in the past sink to the bottom of the pool. Zhou Ting only saw the willow branches and flowers reflected on the pool. He also forgot that there was a thick layer of dirty ooze deposited at the bottom of the pool, and this stirring smashed the bright flower shadows that were originally looking at it.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart, a little wronged, a little sad, and a little epiphany. After being so bored for a few days, she persuaded herself to come back. An intimate husband who blurs boundaries.

If it can't go on like this, Zhou Ting secretly reminds herself that she still has four children, no matter how bad it is, she should think about her children, indulging in love, and counting on a man's love and stability for a lifetime, is too useless.

As soon as she figured it out, she packed up all the messy and messy thoughts and threw them behind her. These days, she has been lazy, and many things have been pressed without orders. At this time, one after another Take out the arrangements, there are things about Yinzhen's birthday, and the banquet for Kangxi in the Old Summer Palace, all of which should be done quickly.

She didn't move on this side, and Yinzhen didn't rush on the other side. If she didn't turn around by herself, many things would be too late.Kangxi's visit to the garden comes first, and Yinzhen's birthday comes later. Some things can be delayed, but some things have to be brought forward.

There will be many festivals in the second half of the year, and if the good theater troupe in Beijing is not booked early, they will not be able to make a reservation. Zhou Ting picked Xiao Yuehong on the list. This troupe has been popular for five or six years, and there are often new plays. The old team in Beijing is following the classic route. Zhou Ting invited two of them, one for Magu's birthday, and one for Xiao Yuehong to act in a new play. Anyway, this play is almost for women. Yes, the sisters-in-law agreed.

At this time, there are still no flowers and trees in the garden. Feng is used to these things. Zhou Ting just needs to be ordered to go there, but she suddenly wants to see this fellow countryman. Even if she can't say anything to her, at least she can watch Seeing this person who lived a happier life than her, listening to her talk about the outside world, let out a sulking heart.

Feng Jiuru said at the beginning of last year that she was going out to sea in a boat, and Zhou Ting never asked about it carefully, and her own affairs here have never been interrupted. During the season, during the period of confinement, he still had a baby, so he didn't find the opportunity to ask Feng Shi to ask about going to sea in detail.

Feng Shi came over as soon as she followed the post. She was more energetic than the previous few meetings, but her face was much darker. After seeing Zhou Ting, she took out several boxes: "I wanted to wait two days to see Fujin." Unexpectedly, Fujin thought of me first."

Zhou Ting looked her up and laughed: "I heard that Feng Jiuru went out to sea, why, you followed her?"

Although Feng's figure is slender like that of a southerner, his brows are full of heroism, and he used to cover up with makeup and clothes to walk among noble ladies, but this time he can't hide the sassy look on his body Zhu: "I went to Nanyang with our shopkeeper and stayed for half a year. I just came back now. It's a sin to miss the fifth elder brother's birth ceremony."

Zhou Ting was taken aback, because she had heard from Yinzhen that Feng Jiuru had started business in Guangzhou and Fujian, but she did not expect that Feng Shi would also go with her. While Zhou Ting was in a daze, Feng Shi opened the box and pointed Looking at the brush-like thing inside, he said, "This is a brush made of squirrel hair. It's good for washing face and applying powder. It's all Huzhou craftsmanship. We're about to stock it in our shop."

"Since it's Huzhou craftsmanship, why did you only think about it when you went to Nanyang?" Zhou Ting intentionally chatted with her. She stayed in the house for too long, and her bones were almost rusted.

"It's interesting to get off the boat, but the life on the boat is sad, so I thought about it. This time I went to Nanyang, which opened my eyes." Feng smiled slightly: "Our shopkeeper brought a lot of rare things. I got a fruit tree, but there was no food on board, so I brought back only rice."

"I heard that the craftsmen over there are very skilled, but is it true? Last time, the pair of dolls, Fu Min and Fu Hui, liked it very much." Zhou Ting smiled. It's amazing.

Mrs. Feng also had the same idea, and talked about it a few times after picking up the well-developed others, and said with a sigh: "Although our things are exquisite, they take a long time, and a master craftsman who is good at bonsai needs to spend ten hours. In half a month, this is still a lot of busy work, but there is one person and one process, and it can be done in three or four days. Although the appearance is not as good as ours, the delivery is faster."

Zhou Ting smiled slightly: "Everyone has its own merits. How do those foreign devils know what it means to be unique? Although the goods in our shop are slower, the advantage is that none of them are heavy. You know, our master pays attention to a "coincidence." "Words, if you do it clumsily, he won't be able to pass the test here. People who can afford glass, how can they want to buy bad things from the street."

Of course, each has its own advantages. Those that are mass-produced will lose their interest. When meeting someone like Yinzhen, he still thinks the pair of pastel vases that are placed together are stupid, with similar patterns. But the lining can't be exactly the same, so that it can catch his eyes.

"I'm thinking about it. If we are doing business with middle-class people, we can use this method." Feng Shi has Feng's idea, and there are not many samples, and they are made batch by batch. Saved time.

The two chatted all afternoon, Zhou Ting listened to the business experience, and when she left, Feng said: "Our current big boat is still not as good as the foreign devils, our shopkeeper is ambitious, thinking about buying someone else's, Fold it open and see where it is inferior to human beings."

Zhou Ting chuckled, it seems that the cottage has existed since ancient times, she nodded with a smile: "You just have to do it, I'll just come and say hello to you." That's what she said, if she really wanted to tell Yinzhen, she I can't decide the tone, it's really like a couple who have quarreled.

Zhou Ting made up her mind to talk to Yinzhen at night, and was ready to tell the story slowly in a normal tone, just like in the past, but Yinzhen didn't come at night.

Pearl nervously replied to what Xiao Zhangzi had reported: "My master is resting in the study today."

Zhou Ting held the teacup and watched Xiao Zhangzi from the window carrying the glass wind lamp through the corridor, and walked through the corridor to the study room. The teacup lightly knocked on the kang table, and Zhou Ting swallowed Go down: "It's getting colder, send someone to send a thick mattress over there, and ask Su Peisheng to prepare to burn the earth dragon. The night is very humid, so don't let the master catch cold, and send a bowl of soup prepared in the kitchen."

After Xiao Zhangzi replied, he shrunk his neck and stood outside, while Yinzhen had a sullen face inside, and through a curtain, he could hear Xiao Zhangzi's reply to Su Peisheng clearly. Su Peisheng just opened the curtain and went in, just raised his eyes Seeing that Yinzhen's face was as gloomy as the sky outside, he hurriedly said flatteringly, "Master, Fujin brought over the mattress, and there is chicken skin and sour bamboo shoot soup, do you want a bowl?"

Before Yinzhen could answer for a long time, Su Peisheng lowered his head even lower, and after a while he heard the person sitting above him let out a breath and coldly threw two words to him: "Get out." Su Peisheng bent over and retreated. Go out and breathe a sigh of relief when you reach the outside room.

Yinzhen clasped his index finger on the table. Earlier, his anger was clear, but it has accumulated more and more in the past few days. It turns out that when the two of them sleep in bed, they don't talk about trivial things. These days, the two of them talk together. But less and less.Yinzhen knew that she was jealous that day, but he couldn't get close to her first.

This is the first time he has tried this kind of feeling. He has tasted these two feelings of guilt and pity from her, but now he feels guilty again, obviously he doesn't mean that when he sees Nian Shi, she is awkward It's like what's wrong with him.

Yinzhen threw the pen away, and there was not a word written on the jade rice paper for a long time. He turned his hand to clear his throat, thinking that there was no reason for his being blocked.

It turned out that there was another person who was as awkward as herself. At any rate, they were fighting each other with their tempers. In the past two days, she has become more and more comfortable, as if she has let go of what happened that day, and neither asked him for an explanation nor asked if it was right. If you want to take Nianshi there, just hanging him like this will make him feel uncomfortable.

How could he take Nianshi there, Yinzhen stood up and went to the inner room, the curtain hadn't been drawn yet, by the light he could see the leaves of plantains outside were bent by the shower, and further away was the dense rain curtain , It's so dark that you can't see anything, this rain makes people feel restless!He stood up again and spun around the room.

Su Peisheng, who was outside, saw the two young apprentices exchanged glances, and gave them a hard look. He couldn't figure out what the master meant, he seemed to have lost his temper with Fujin, but when he came back, he wanted to ask the main house what he did .It's no wonder he couldn't figure it out, the eunuch is not a man after all, how could he know the way here, so he had to clamp his tail and don't come closer, in case the fish in the pool would not be wronged.

Yinzhen couldn't sleep over there, but Zhou Ting was lying on the bed here, but she tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep. Yinzhen was watching the night outside when Pearl wasn't there, and she didn't dare to make a sound when she heard the noise inside, knowing that Zhou Ting was not. Ask for water, just feel bad.Pearl kept her ears up all night to prevent Zhou Ting from getting up at night, but the people inside did not speak, until the middle of the night, and barely moved.Pearl breathed a sigh of relief, stared at her dull eyes and yawned softly, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.

When he got up the next day, Yinzhen didn't even come to eat breakfast, but he came back after the court, but he didn't come to the main courtyard, but stayed in the study, Zhou Ting watched the dense autumn rain fall outside the window. Frowning, Pearl and Jade exchanged a look. Zhou Ting's expression is not right these days, how can I hide it from her close girl, not to mention the side, the hot water burning in the kitchen has not been carried into the main room door for several nights, yesterday Ye Li didn't come at all, and everyone knew that the two masters were screwing up.

Zhu Zhen vaguely touched her head, but didn't know how to persuade Zhou Ting. Although the two masters have been married for so long, no one wants to look at their identities, but newcomers always have to enter, and the master hasn't given that yet. Look at the face, the master is getting awkward now, if there is something else, what will the master do to go back to the previous life?

Pearl sighed, Jadeite was better than her, she took the home furnishing list for moving the garden to ask Zhou Ting one after another, Zhou Ting took it in her hand and flipped through two pages, pointing to a few cases and said: " Put this one inlaid with mottled bamboo and palm bamboo in the brother's house, and put the painted one in the Gege's house." He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Is everything ready?"

Fei Cui replied: "All are ready, Feng Ji sent new bonsai here, there are money chrysanthemum pile landscapes and cranes and ganoderma lucidum flowers, how many pots does Fujin want to keep?"

"The Crane asked Feng Ji to send a few more pots, put two pots here, and send the rest to the garden over there. Grandpa's birthday is coming up, so I'd like to please." Zhou Ting waved lazily. Waving: "The most important thing is Argo Gege, they are still young, and the things they usually use must be sent over first."

Pearl also saw that it was better to give Zhou Ting something to do than to let her do nothing. She took the tray and brought the lotus root starch osmanthus cake over, and when she lifted the food box, it was tangy and sweet: "This is made from the freshly harvested osmanthus in the kitchen." , but it’s fragrant, let’s buy some, master.”

There is more rain this year than in previous years, which fattened the sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden. Just after being knocked down by the rain and before sweeping the branches, they bloomed again. One after another, they bloomed until October, and the girls collected them. The sweet-scented osmanthus on the branches is used to make cakes with fillings or to make fragrant houses, which has been lively for a long time.

Zhou Ting just picked up a piece and opened her mouth to ask, Pearl said wittily: "All the things and yards have been delivered." She laughed as she said, the master is such a person, and it was the same when Mrs. Li was here. Don't wait to see you again. It is also a little bit good.

Zhou Ting smiled with the corners of her mouth hooked. She actually wanted to ask if there was any delivery in the study. Thinking in my heart, I put the candy cake I took a bite out of on the crabapple plate, and turned my head to look out the window.

Yinzhen sat in front of the case, frowning tightly, he was holding on here, but she was fine, she threw away her hands completely, and the fire in Yinzhen's heart burst into flames when he looked at the still steaming sweet-scented osmanthus cake , stood up with a sullen face and went outside, Su Peisheng quickly followed behind with an oil umbrella.

Su Peisheng thought that he was going to the main courtyard, but he let go of his hanging heart, and was about to turn a corner along the wall when he saw Yinzhen glaring at him: "Go to the east courtyard!"

Su Peisheng was dumbfounded, followed closely before Yinzhen could give him a second look, turned his head and gave Xiao Zhangzi a wink, Xiao Zhangzi retreated two steps cleverly, and stooped to report to the main courtyard.
